ABC Lowering Question?

Does anyone know if lowering of ABC is possible? US cars sit 3/4" higher than european specs. I heard changing the 'delivery location' to Germany or Italy removes speed limits for CL55 AMGs. Does anyone know how to lower the US cars to the normal european ride heights? Brabus is quoting $2,000 for a part that attaches to ABC system to lower the CLs. I wonder if lowering can be done by changing any of the the factory settings. Of course, finding a right dealer to perform this kind of service would be a question too.

I have been told that you CAN lower the ride height via the dealers DAS laptop. It is an option somehwere in the settings. Also, I HAVE heard by setting the locale of the car to a European country will defeat the VMAX speed limiter.

Maybe MBtech can give us some insight here.
